Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 31

This weeks challenge: Upcycle
Accepted/Rejected: Rejected

Oh my! I am in love with this fabric. I ordered it for a special project which you can read more about next week but I just couldn’t wait to cut into it and make something.

I was looking for a super quick make that I could fit in before picking the kids up from school, the Super Suit was the perfect choice, it sews up super quickly and looks great.

And just because at this point it’s almost expected that I make some Sprouts or maybe just because I was loving the way this solid looked I quickly made up some Twigs to match.

Happy Sewing

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 30

This weeks challenge: Freestyle
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

Did you read last weeks post about the Rainbow Fabric that Mr 5 wouldn’t let me leave at the shop? Well in the same trip he found this rainbow ombre leopard print that he wasn’t letting go of either. He must have been extra cute that day… since we left with this one too.

This is a combed jersey with single stretch so I couldn’t make the Sprouts Twigs that he asked for instead I made a slightly modified version of the Sprouts Trees. I swapped out the cuffs and waistband from the twigs pattern in a ribbing.

He was still pretty excited to put these on when they were finished and couldn’t be talked out of wearing them to Kindy so I haven’t been able to get any modeled photos yet.

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 29

This weeks challenge: Woven
Accepted/Rejected: Rejected

So it’s probably no surprise that I made Sprouts Twigs again this week, Mr 5 found this crazy bright rainbow cotton lycra on our recent trip to Spotlight and wasn’t letting me leave the shop without it.

He also told me exactly what I was going to make for him and was entirely unimpressed when he woke up the next morning and his new pants weren’t waiting beside the sewing machine. (Cue the massive mum guilt)

After seeing how sad he was I made sure to get them made for him the next night, these are so quick to sew I managed to get a pair sewn up for my nephew too.

I didn’t love this fabric in the shop but once I saw it was sewn up into Sprouts I think I’ve changed my mind, I have a small bit of this fabric left and haven’t decided what to make with it yet so keep an eye out on my future makes.

Happy Sewing

Sewing Challenge 2020 – Week 28

This weeks challenge: Book Week
Accepted/Rejected: Accepted

Book week has been moved to October this year, but a few weeks ago we had simultaneous story time, you can read about it here. Mr 4’s daycare had a dress up day that was themed “Dress up like a Diva”.

We went to the fabric shop especially for him to choose the fabrics he wanted for this costume and he was so excited when we found the sparkly stars and even more excited when he found the gold lamé for the crown.

Mr 4 has so many pairs of Sprouts pants like these because they are my go to for dress up days, they are super quick and easy to make and can be sewn completely on the overlocker.

For the crown I used the Bunny Bucket Crown with optional elastic, which means it also fits Mr 10 too much to my little guys upset.

Happy Sewing
